New executive chef at the Joule: Michael Sindoni

Charlie Palmer has announced that Michael Sindoni has taken over as executive chef at the Joule hotel, where plans are in motion to transform Charlie Palmer at the Joule into Charlie Palmer Steak. Sindoni’s last gig, says the press release, was as executive chef at AGAINN, a contemporary British Isles bistro in Washington, D.C. Sindoni, a graduate of Johnson and Wales, also held positions at two California restaurants, Cervinia Restaurant in Mammoth Lakes and Navio at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, as well as Il Cibreo, in Florence, Italy. He’ll be overseeing the Joule’s food and beverage program and development and management of the new food hall Palmer plans to open in the fall.

Though dates are still up in the air, Charlie Palmer at the Joule will close only briefly before reopening as Charlie Palmer Steak, a transformation that will be overseen by executive sous chef Joel Harrington.
